will give you tmpfs instance on /mytmpfs which can allocate 10GB
RAM/SWAP in 10240 inodes and it is only accessible by root.
+tmpfs has the following mounting options for case-insensitive lookup support:
+
+================= ==============================================================
+casefold Enable casefold support at this mount point using the given
+ argument as the encoding standard. Currently only UTF-8
+ encodings are supported. If no argument is used, it will load
+ the latest UTF-8 encoding available.
+strict_encoding Enable strict encoding at this mount point (disabled by
+ default). In this mode, the filesystem refuses to create file
+ and directory with names containing invalid UTF-8 characters.
+================= ==============================================================
+
+This option doesn't render the entire filesystem case-insensitive. One needs to
+still set the casefold flag per directory, by flipping +F attribute in an empty
+directory. Nevertheless, new directories will inherit the attribute. The
+mountpoint itself cannot be made case-insensitive.
+
+Example::
+
+ $ mount -t tmpfs -o casefold=utf8-12.1.0,strict_encoding fs_name /mytmpfs
+ $ mount -t tmpfs -o casefold fs_name /mytmpfs
+
